City renews PhilHealth cards of poor beneficiaries
BALON DAGUPAN NEWS
THE Dagupan City government fulfilled its commitment anew to provide poor families with the best health care possible when it renewed the PhilHealth cards of 11,270 beneficiaries in the city this year.
Mayor Belen T. Fernandez led the distribution of the PhilHealth cards to the beneficiaries at CSI Stadia on April 13. The beneficiaries are mostly from indigent families, senior citizens, members of the barangay family and pregnant mothers.
The distribution was facilitated by the City Social Welfare and Development Office headed by Leah T. Aquino, officer-in-charge.
“We made sure that our PhilHealth card beneficiaries shall continue to benefit from the no balance billing policy in public hospitals by renewing their PhilHealth cards every year,” said Fernandez.
“Providing free health care services has always been among the top priorities of my administration and will continue up to my next term,” she added.
Last year, the city was awarded the first 2015 PhilHealth Agila Award as the Best Forerunner in Sponsored Program Implementation-City Category.
Dagupan was the first and only city to have received such honor during the 1st Regional Health Financing Summit 2015 in La Union on May 28. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO)
